During and installation of a MSI file you may just be dealing with a registry error. MSI installations sometimes get messed up and won’t install.One of the causes of this is prior installation attempts or removals that didn’t quite finish the job.

Then this is likely the situation.Along with the error above it will tell you it cannot find the file and ask you to search for it.You probably won’t be able to find this file but there is a solution.It involves using the registry so if you are uncomfortable with this I would advise having someone knowledgeable do this.My usual advice would be not to attempt this yourself.

First open the registry editor and make sure you are at the root.Once there, search for the file your program is requesting (program.msi).It will be associated with a key that will look something like (example only not actual key) {ACDA0F20-94F0-449E-B81F-F8179E3DE605} You will need to delete the entire key that is associated with that MSI file.There should only be one key in the registry so to make sure you may want to continue the search before deleting this key then start from the beginning to find it again before deleting it.

Fiendish Websites

(Avoid if you can)

There are websites out there that are just fiendish Virus/Trojans waiting to happen to you. It usually looks like your anti-virus program found a virus and immediately starts a scan. There are two problems with this ... First your anti-virus program will most likely just give a notification in the bottom right of the screen just above the clock. .. Second, a normal anti-virus program does not start scanning your computer based on finding a virus - it just stops it.

Best practice is just to close your browser windows and re-open explorer. And above all else DO NOT click on the button that says fix/scan/repair... or anything else. This just installs it and bypasses any real anti-virus software you may have.
